The key of referring expression comprehension lies in capturing the cross-modal visual-linguistic relevance. Existing works typically model the cross-modal relevance in each image, where the anchor object/expression and their positive expression/object have the same attribute as the negative expression/object, but with different attribute values. These objects/expressions are exclusively utilized to learn the implicit representation of the attribute by a pair of different values, which however impedes the accuracies of the attribute representations, expression/object representations, and their cross-modal relevances since each anchor object/expression usually has multiple attributes while each attribute usually has multiple potential values. To this end, we investigate a novel REC problem named Group-based REC, where each object/expression is simultaneously employed to construct the multiple triplets among the semantically similar images. To tackle the explosion of the negatives and the differentiation of the anchor-negative relevance scores, we propose the multi-group self-paced relevance learning schema to adaptively assign within-group object-expression pairs with different priorities based on their cross-modal relevances. Since the average cross-modal relevance varies a lot across different groups, we further design an across-group relevance constraint to balance the bias of the group priority. Experiments on three standard REC benchmarks demonstrate the effectiveness and superiority of our method.

在本文中,我们提出了一种新的端到端的模型,即单级接地网络(SSG),在一个图像内的参考表达式的参考定位。不同于以往的多阶段模型,依赖于对象的建议或检测到的区域,我们提出的模型的目的是通过一个单一的阶段,而不诉诸区域的建议,以及随后的区域明智的特征提取理解所指的表达。具体地说,提出了一个多模态交互器,以集中地总结关于指称表达的局部区域特征。随后,提出了一个地面定位器,直接在给定的图像中定位所指的表达。为了进一步提高定位精度,提出了一种引导注意力机制,以强制接地集中在中心区域的指示。此外,通过利用和预测视觉属性信息,地面可以进一步区分图像中的所指对象,从而提高模型的性能。RefCOCO,RefCOCO+和RefCOCOg数据集上的实验表明,我们提出的SSG不依赖于任何区域建议,可以实现与其他先进模型相当的性能。此外,我们的SSG优于以前的模型,并在ReferItGame数据集上实现了最先进的性能。更重要的是,我们的SSG具有时间效率,可以在25 ms(每秒40个引用)内从RefCOCO数据集的416*416图像中获得引用表达式,平均使用Nvidia Tesla P40,比现有的多级模型加速超过9倍。

指称表达式理解和切分是两个高度相关的任务,它们都是为了根据自然语言表达式识别指称对象。在本文中,我们提出了一种新的多任务协作网络(MCN),以实现联合学习的REC和RES的第一次。在MCN中,RES可以帮助REC实现更好的语言-视觉对齐,而REC可以帮助RES更好地定位所指对象。此外,我们解决了这种多任务设置中的一个关键挑战,即,预测冲突,两个创新的设计,即,一致性能量最大化(CEM)和自适应软非定位抑制(ASNLS)。具体来说,CEM使REC和RES能够通过最大化两个任务之间的一致性能量来关注相似的视觉区域。ASNLS基于REC的预测来抑制RES中不相关区域的响应。为了验证我们的模型,我们在REC和RES的三个基准数据集上进行了广泛的实验,即,RefCOCO、RefCOCO+和RefCOCOg。实验结果报告了MCN在所有现有方法上的显着性能增益,即,最高可达+7.13%for REC和+11.50%for RES over SOTA,这充分证实了我们的模型对于REC和RES联合学习的有效性。
